Devil's Bible

Chapter 107 Origin (8th of 20 chapters released since its release)

"In other words, she can provide alchemy with the best fault tolerance?" Nemus asked.

“That’s right. If she possesses amazing perception and super rational intelligence, then she is the chosen one of alchemy.” Becky looked at Leah, her eyes full of admiration.

"Uh..." Upon hearing this, Nemus and the village guards fell silent.

Becky was also greatly disappointed after learning about Leah's 'intelligence,' feeling it was a pity that she had such a lot of talent.

They also offered their own speculations about the current situation.

“It should be closely related to the floating whale.” Becky entered scholar mode. After listening to Leah’s situation, he immediately made some analyses and also revealed a secret that Nemus had never heard before.

"The floating whales originally lived in the astral plane. No, to be precise, there were no floating whales to begin with, only astral whales."

"It was after the Earth suffered a catastrophe that the Astral Whale was guided by some force to the material plane, and after various changes, it became a floating whale."

"The earliest floating whales were like continents; those were the size of the Astral Whales—"

“The Source Whale.” Nemus paused for a moment, then gave his answer.

He had read that there were six enormous floating whales in the world, known as the Source Whales, and that all the current floating whales were descendants of these six Source Whales.

Becky's explanation completes the origin of the Source Whale, a special creature that lives in the astral plane.

“The whale disease is related to the floating whales, the floating whales are related to the astral plane, and the changes in Angel A are also related to the astral plane.” Nemus thought that all of this made sense.

“Everything in the Astral Plane is related to intelligence,” Becky continued. “In the Astral Plane, time is largely irrelevant; people use their intelligence.”

"Whether it's movement or combat, you need to use intelligence as the starting point to exert your power."

"Lia's condition is most likely due to malnutrition."

"If we can take her to the Astral Plane, perhaps we can solve the problem."

“Then this can only be slowed down for now.” Nemus shook his head.

The astral plane and the etheric plane are intermediate levels connecting the material plane to other special places such as the elemental plane and the abyss.

When Nemus entered the material plane from the abyss, he passed through the astral plane.

However, the problem is that he only passed through; he relied on the power of the Abyss to complete the traversal of the Star Realm through summoning.

The entire process was actually enveloped by the power of the abyss, and there was no actual contact with the astral plane.

In this situation, if an individual wants to truly reach places like the astral plane or the etheric plane using their own abilities, they must at least reach the Gold rank and master special methods to do so.

The individuals who truly roam freely in the celestial realm are mythical beings.

With Lydia's problem resolved, Nemus also began to guide the fictional agreement onto the right track.

The purpose of establishing a fictitious agreement is to collect faith.

There aren't enough people right now.

"Village Guardian," Nemus called softly, and the village guardian immediately activated his whale form.

His further improved ability to transform into a whale brought him to a level that was somewhat similar to Poole's.

Its enormous size and the powerful aura emanating from within made the newly joined followers of the fictional agreement immediately take notice.

"This whale-like transformation will greatly enhance your strength."

“However, the fabricated agreement won’t be given to you for free if you want to gain power.” Nemus looked at the followers and knew what kind of people most of them were.

Within the Floating World Society, many members worship evil gods, while others simply need the platform to profit. Those who firmly believe in evil gods have been largely purged by the church, according to Nemus.

Most of those here now are like Becky, profiting from the Floating World Society platform, or simply individuals who have a shallow belief in evil gods.

“I need you to spread my doctrines and beliefs for a fictional god.”

"This fictional god is multifaceted. Anyone who accepts the fictional agreement he left behind and uses the rules formed by the fictional agreement as their life creed can become one of the multiple identities created by the fictional god."

"Thus gaining the opportunity to change the course of one's life."

"I will reward you based on the amount of faith you collect."

"Remember, this body is all an unfinished draft; whoever fabricates the agreement gains the right to write it." After saying this, Nemus left.

"Hey, hey, hey, why did you leave so suddenly!" Angel A's unique aura was revealed the moment he opened his mouth.

Anyone with a modicum of insight would immediately recognize the difference between Nemus and Angel A.

"Descent, possession?" Becky's eyes flickered as he thought of some secrets.

To become an alchemist, he must have come from a noble family. Although his family had been destroyed, he had a deep understanding of various secrets.

Or we can simply rely on common sense to judge, such as what level of individual needs a lot of faith.

The evil god worshipped by the Floating World Society, though called a god, is actually more like a demon.

What they wanted was not faith, but the desires arising from various sensory stimulations. As for demanding faith, it was because they wanted to use it to ensure the loyalty of their subordinates.

For most individuals, faith is of little use except for priests who can use it to cast some divine spells.

However, it was only when Becky encountered an individual who truly needed faith that she felt a sense of unreality.

It seemed as if I might have actually joined an extraordinary organization.

This kind of organization is very likely not going to operate on a small scale like before, but will actually cause something big.

Becky felt a mixture of fear and excitement.

He understood one thing very well: as long as he didn't get involved in major events, an alchemist of his level wouldn't face severe punishment even if he were caught by the Church.

More likely, they will be incorporated into the church. Although they may lose some freedom, their lives will still not be too bad.

Becky took a deep breath to calm herself, then looked around at her followers who had been with her for some time.

Although they lacked experience, they understood that the current situation was very risky.

However, most people did not feel any regret at that moment.

Most of them, while not exactly destitute, were not particularly valuable individuals either.

They all faced predicaments that could not be resolved through normal means, which is why they chose to take risks.

They all understood that the greater the risk at hand, the greater the potential reward.

A little bit of ambition burns within them.

Inside the church, Nemus narrowed his eyes slightly, the Fictional Protocol feature beginning to activate subtly.

The agreement was already in effect the moment it was reached, gradually binding them with fictitious 'rules'.
